Types of People Who Might Prefer Mediation to Litigation

One website reports that the average number of federal tort, or injury, lawsuits filed each year in the United States is 512,000. From there, you can probably estimate that a large number of tort lawsuits are filed in state courts, too, since most motor vehicle accident, slip-and-fall, and property damage cases are filed in the courts of the states in which they occurred.

In short, people just like you and me find mediation to be an effective conflict resolution process. It often saves time, money, and relationships–including our relationships with ourselves, our health, our finances, and more.

Would you like to see if there’s a resolution to your conflict that’s even better than you imagined possible? Complete and return this fully-executed Mediation Interest Form to request a conflicts check and subject matter review.

NOTE: This post is a general overview of the types of people who might choose mediation over litigation. It is not legal advice, and there is certainly no guarantee that choosing mediation will generate a specific result. Past success is never a guarantee of a future outcome. If you require legal information or advice applied to your unique situation, please make an appointment to discuss it with an attorney. Don’t rely solely on what you read on the Internet.
